Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 24:, 1911.

Application filed September 28, 1910. Serial No. 584,270.

To all whom "it may conccm:

Be it known that I, AMALIE F. Bnoxnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at 224 North Fifth street, Philadelphia, in the county of Phiiadeiphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Candy-Packages; and I do hereby dec1are the following to be a full, clear, and exact description et the invention, such as Will enabie others skilled in the art to which .it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in candy packages, and has for an objeet to provide a novel means of putting up candy, to both preserve the contents thereof and present a pieasing appearance.

Another objeet of this invention is to produce a candy package comprising a number of globular shaped candy containing members, each having a suppiementary stem adapted to be secured t0 a main stem, provided with suitable ornamentation to present with the said candy containing members the appearance of a bunch of grapes.

A further object of this invention is to improve and simplif.y devices of this character, rendering them comparatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, reiiable and efficient in use, and readily assembled.

In eflecting .these above mentioned 0bjeets, this invention resides in the novel fea tures of construction, formations, combinations and arrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved candy paekage, and Fig. 2 is a detai1 view illustrating the manner in Whieh the candy containing members are secured to the main stem.

Referring to the drawing by characters of reference, the numerai 1 designates generaily my improved candy package, comprising a main stem 2, upon the upper end of Which is provided any suitable ornamentation 3, which in the present instance is illustrated as in the form of a bnnch 0f grape leaves. Candy containing members 4, formed by twisting paraffin paper, or other suitable material, around globular shaped pieces of candy, so as to provide twisted stem forming extensions 5, which are secured at intervals to the main stem 2 by means of a flexible Winding G, formed pref erabiy from bark fiber, dried grass or the 1ike.

From the foregoing disciosure it will be manifest that a candy package is provided for which will both preserve the contents thereof and present the pleasing appearance of a bunch of grapes, it being nnderstood, however, that the design need not be limited to the said bunch of grapes, but may include several bunches, or, in fact, any other kind of fruit.

IIaving thus fuiiy described this invention, what I daim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

In a candy package the eombination with a main stem, of a series of candy-containing members formed by twisting pieces of paraflin paper or the like aronnd globularshaped pieces of candy in such manner as to provide stem-forming extensions, a Winding extending the full length of the main stem and securing the stem-forming extensions thereto in such positions upon the main stem that the candy-containing members will be held in staggered relation to each other for the purpose of concealing the winding, and an ornamentation provided upon the stem to form With the candy-containing members the appearanee 01 a bunch of grapes.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

AMALIE I BECKER.
